Like many fans, Jaelyn Jamik appreciates country music for its honesty and genuine, emotion-driven lyrics and country artists, for the passion they bring to their performances.
At the 44th annual CMA Awards, Brad Paisley summed up the relationship between country music artists and their fans perfectly. He said, "It sounds like a cliché when you say thanks to the fans, but the great thing about country fans is when you say fans, I don't even mean mine. You guys are loyal to everyone in this room. It's the most amazing, loyal fan base in the world."
It's Jaelyn's opinion that this mutual loyalty between fans and country artists is what drives country artists to be their very best. They give of their time and talents, not just for fans, but also for worthy causes. It's these times, when country artists receive recognition or deserve it, that Jaelyn wants to help fans celebrate.
